Mouse Update

We caught ourselves a mouse!! :)

Monday morning found us creeping around the corner of our kitchen entrance to gaze upon the set traps. At first glance, all of them were set and had not budged - very frustrating. The trap we had set under the oven where we had heard the mouse had seemingly disappeared. We were quite confused by this until we took a closer look; the trap had shifted under a metal piece of the oven...we knew it had been shifted because something had moved it. As Brant was trying to maneuver the stick under the the oven to pull it out he immediately noticed a tail sticking out a few inches away. He blindly reached behind the metal piece and pulled out a dead mouse attached to the mouse trap.

Seriously, this was the happiest moment of our entire weekend! We were SO relieved.

We spent the next several hours getting ready for our day, packing boxes, going to the grocery store, etc. We were eating lunch, when suddenly we heard some furious scurrying coming from upstairs. Tucker started intensely barking at the ceiling, so we opened the upstairs door and sent him up. He didn't catch anything but he (and we) were very distressed.

Since then, we've set the traps upstairs but have not seen or heard any other sign of a mouse. So where does that leave us now? Counting the days until we can move out of here!!
